Jets' Training Camp Day 3 Practice Highlights
Posted by Erik Manassy on Jul 29, 2012 in Main, Media, Twitter Pictures | 0 comments
Today was the first day the players wore full pads this training camp, as the players have been stating, they played hard. Josh Baker left with a broken nose, Aaron Maybin had to hook up for IV treatment, and Revis sat out due to a sore hamstring.
Yesterday was a big quarterback watching day (and Mark got the best out of that), but today was all about the defense and they won the right to wear the black for tomorrow's practice.
Pads on today time to crack some heads…lol
— Ellis Lankster (@EllisLankster26) July 29, 2012
- Attendance for today's practice was 2,437 according to team source.
- Darrelle Revis was held out of team drills and 7 on 7 today. Revis felt tightness in his hamstring last night. Revis tells reporters that he expects to be back in practice tomorrow. He made sure to shoot down conspiracy theorists saying that there is no way this was related to his contract.
- Both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow did not have a good passing day. Each finished 1-7.
- Aaron Maybin played very well and continues to show that he is bigger and faster and more physical. The Jets used him as the gunner on the punt team.
- A lot of the players were poking fun at Tim Tebow going shirtless yesterday in the rain. Bart Scott with a notable quote:
- Bilal Powell looked VERY GOOD showing speed and taking a long run to the house.
- Josh Baker left practice with a bloody nose. It was reported afterwards that he broke his nose. His chin strap stuck. OUCH.
- Jeremy Kerley sat out practice again, he took some heat yesterday from Rex and how the HC is disappointed in his off season workout and said that he needs to "step up". This may open the door for Schilens and Hill to be the outside receivers and move Holmes to slot.
- Tebow was dropping the snap but Mattt Kroul was the center and was part of the problem.
- David Harris said that the Defense "won" practice today and will be in the black jerseys tomorrow.
- Joe McKnight looked VERY GOOD as well.
I've never seen anybody take their shirt off in the rain… Maybe it was holy water, I don't know". – Bart Scott
SethWalder: Yesterday after practice, QBs said to Tebow, "We're just glad you kept your shirt on for this meeting."

Vietnam, Costa Rica and Panama all feature strongly on a new list of top places for solo women to explore on private journeys.
Costa Rica and Panama are ranked highly on the list by Fox News' Susan L. Eckert, who has published advice for women travellers venturing alone.
There are so many things to do and the majority of people speak English.
Eckert advised starting in Panama City.
Here, she said, you can schedule day trips to different destinations such as the Panama Canal.
The attraction facilitates adventure activities such as zip-lining, hiking, white water rafting and even bungee jumping.
Closely following behind this pair is Vietnam.
City breaks to Saigon and Hanoi are recommended by Eckert as they are "fabulous" and "safe".
Bike tours, daytime temple trips and museum visits are all strongly suggested.
Eckert said: "You can also take a cooking class, rock climb and try some unusual Vietnam delicacies if you dare."
Speaking in general, she said: "Women should keep some basic safety practices in mind, like storing valuables in different places (hotel safe, your pocket, wallet, etc), keeping a copy of your passport in case it's lost or stolen and using a moneybelt instead of a purse."
She said a confident rather than unsure facade can also help to avoid danger.
Eckert also recommends taking a guided walking tour to get acclimatised, to learn where things are and to get a feel for the culture.

"even more adrenaline than Asphalt 8: Airborne and Ridge Racer: Slipstream"
"The sense of speed Chaos Ride's gameplay exudes is really quite astonishing and it's all thanks to the games stellar visuals and high framerate."
"Chaos Ride is one the craziest adrenaline rushes you can get in mobile gaming, and relies on split second decisions and lightning-fast reactions."
Race neon hover-bikes through a futuristic city at 600mph!
Chaos Ride is a futuristic arcade racing game, which throws out a lot of the common conventions of the genre. Braking, drifting, and cornering are all irrelevant here – the game is entirely about launching your vehicle around the tracks at insane speeds.
You play by driving along tubular-shaped tracks. By shifting your weight around the track through careful positioning, you can build momentum and gain speed (for example, downhill gradients will cause you to accelerate, riding up the inside wall of a bend will make you accelerate, etc). This is easier said than done, with five combatants all attempting the same thing in a high-speed race.
The game will be delivered in three episodic releases. Episode 1 is set in a city. Episode 2 is set in multiple outdoor environments. The setting of Episode 3 is unknown.
- Extremely fast gameplay.
- High-fidelity graphics.
- Six tracks (three tracks with forward and reverse variations).
- Five game modes: Race, Marathon, Eliminator, Time Trial, and Survival.
- Fifteen time/score-attack challenges per track. 90 unique elements of gameplay in total.
- Vehicle customisation. Tune your vehicle to deliver the best speeds for each track.
- Unlockable content. Come first in events to unlock more customisation options.

I would like to see information from people about WHEN their tomatoes first ripen, this year, in their own garden. You can record this for EACH type of tomato you have. Please try to use a format something like this: Your tomato variety, Your zone (if you know it), if your plant was planted from seed (indoors or out) or if it was from a nursery, what date you put it in the ground and what date you first had a ripe tomato. Plus any other information you think important. For example: Sungold, Zone 6B, seeded indoors, planted out May 2nd. First ripe tomato July 8th. Weather has been cold. Later, when another variety ripens, you could come back and post about that. Hoping to see lots of interesting dates, and types. |

How will you use that information for your tomato growing in Utah when some may post data from many different geographic areas that would not be applicable to where you are. Different soils, different amendments used, if so, which ones, how often and how much, different weather, how the plants are grown, etc. and the many variables that determine when different varieties start to ripen. Honest, I'm not trying to be difficult, but I just am having problems seeing how anyone can extend such data as being useful, to not just you in Utah, but for folks anywhere. Carolyn |
It isn't just for me, though I am curious to see the trends and variability of different types of tomatoes in different areas. It obviously won't be EXACT info in any case, but I would be interested in hearing, in general trends, how different tomatoes are doing in different areas. For example, if a tomato is supposed to be a mid-season type, and it is producing late in some areas, that could be useful information, or vice-versa if it is a later type but comes on fairly early in some areas In addition, if someone is growing a particular type of tomato and they want to know what level of development they should be expecting at a particular stage or time, then information such as this could be beneficial to them. I did not include a request for people to list things like dates they started flowering or dates they noticed first fruit set, because I think that gets just TOO complex for some people, but that could also be beneficial, if people actually noticed it, and if they wanted to include it. One thing that is clear to me is that many people come on the board and want to know, "How are my tomatoes doing compared to other people? And what should I be expecting NOW?" Information like this could at least point them towards general trends. |
We are up North here, in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, which is just north of Sault Ste. Marie Michigan. I started my Black Krim indoors from a cutting in February, so this is a 4 month old bush - it has 12 leaders on it, and is very healthy looking, it has about 30+ tomatoes on it - I picked a ripe two last week, and there is another one ripening today. Our growing season here is so short, so I have to start all my tomatoes indoors, and I have a very nice setup with fluorescent strip lights - total of 4' x 12' of fluorescent, and 4' x 9' of HID garden - metal halide 575W pulse start lamps, and 600w HPS - our climate is kind of cold, so the use of the lamps cuts down on my heating cost :) |
Thanks for your post. Sounds interesting. Even though you are way up north, you are beating a lot of people down here with your early production. |

Sungold, Zone 9A, seeded in-ground, planted April 1st. First ripe tomato June 21st. Weather Normal SoCal Weather. I want to compare with others. I have two other types growing, but they are not yet riped. I'll try to post when they are ready. |

Sungold Sunset Zone 23, planted Easter Sunday. First ripe tomato June 15. Weather on dry side not so much June Gloom as usual. Mr. Stripey Sunset Zone 23, planted Easter Sunday. First ripe tomato June 19. Smaller than last year so far. |

What's shown in the picture and I ask b'c it's not Sungold and it isn't Mr Stripey,. at least the large beefsteak Mr Stripey, and if it was the small original Mr Stripey. also called Tigerella it should be a small red with gold Stripes. ( smile) Carolyn |
I also live in Utah (SLC area) zone 5b. I start all my tomatoes by seed, starting them around the last week in March first week April. This year I have 20 varieties all about 18 inches tall with no tomatoe sets. In my experience over the years my tomatoes don't tend to ripen until the first or second week in August. I have Stump in my garden again this year, and is usually on of my first ripe tomatoes. |

Sorry about the double post. There is no echo just my inability to post with a tablet. |
Fanatic, I love Stump of the World. If you are getting it to ripen as one of your first tomatoes, you are lucky. |
My first ripe tomato this year was "4th of July." Started from seed, indoors, about Feb 15th. Put out in Walls of Water on April 10th. First ripe tomatoes June 19th. So far it is beating Stupice, Kotlas and Early Wonder, but it was planted on the south side of a brown PVC fence and has been getting more heat than they did. Otherwise our weather was wet and cold until early May. |

Sungold. Wichita, Kansas. I ate one couple of days ago so this isn't really the first ripe one. In general they are not doing very well IMO. Have had a lot more fruit at this date in past years. The weather has been very cool and wet then very hot. I'm a little worried. |

We live in beautiful Star Valley, Wyoming where it is frigid cold!! Our last low - below 32 degrees day - was last week - but there are surely more days like that to come before fall. One cannot grow tomatoes here with out protection or a GH. We planted all of our tomato seeds the same day - January 25th in our home under grow lights. We moved them to the GH on March 10th. Our first ripe tomato this year was Sweet Baby Girl on May 17th - Brandy Boy on June 11th - German Giant on June 18th and Better Boy on June 24th. As you can see in the photo - the ripening date means they were ripe to pick from the plant and enjoy! We definitely have bragging rights in this valley for the earliest ripe tomatoes! |
Hudson, I used to live in Cheyenne, which sits at 6000 ft altitude, though on the east side of the continental divide, and I'm sure Star Valley is colder. While I lived in Cheyenne, I planted multiple fruit trees including several types of cherries and apples, that no one said would survive. However, they did survive, at least as long as we lived there. Tomato season was short and I never tried anything beyond early maturing and cherry tomato types. But it was nice during summer to NEVER need to use an air conditioner. Period. Of course, I remember the kids going Trick or Treat on Haloween with temps of 22 degrees below 0 F. I already figured you were using a greenhouse. I wish I had a real one here. I would just love to extend our growing season here in Salt Lake, by a few months. |
- Posted by Hudson...WY Z3 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 28, 13 at 12:34
Haha - small world Fcivish - I lived in Ogden, Utah where I developed a love for Utah tomatoes - then moved to Star Valley where we couldn't grow them! Yes, we are much higher than Cheyenne - Star Valley is 6,500 - 7,000 depending where you live. Since we have lived here (almost 20 years) we have seen snow in every month of the year at one time or another - but that's what makes this place so beautiful !? That is great that you were able to grow fruit trees in Cheyenne - the problem here is that a tree may grow 5 years and then mother nature gives a punch and kills everything that shouldn't grow here. We have replaced 15 trees and now only grow trees that will tolerate this climate. A GH is a must for tomato lovers here and we have enjoyed ours along with the wonderful tomatoes we can grow - almost as good as those grown in Utah - haha. Please stop by on your way to Jackson Hole or YellowStone Park and we will show you our GH (if you are interested). |
I plantedout ist week of May. I have picked a Mr Stripey and a Parks Whopper and have a blush on a Estlers ML. My plants were a little larger than avg when I set them. I have Burpee Orange Slice that are large and plentiful but not ripe. Ditto C Purple and I Stripe. |
Hudson, I might take you up on that visit sometime, but it won't be this year. Bigpinks, Were your tomatoes grown from seed, or commercial plants? Did you have blossoms on your plants before you planted them out? I wonder because I routinely remove ANY blossoms or small tomatoes that are on plants when I put them in the ground, because I'm afraid it will slow down their long term growth. Maybe I shouldn't. I wonder what other people think about this. |
The tomatoes that I have picked were from purchased plants. They were normal nursery size maybe 12 in and bushy healthy. No blooms. The Indian tomatoes and Burpee Orange Slice(maybe the nicest tomato plant in my garden considering size, vitality, taste and productivity) I grew from seed. |
- Posted by Christacharlene (My Page) on Sat, Jun 29, 13 at 19:11
The plants that have had ripe tomatoes are from a nursery. I live in Zone 6 (southern Ohio). Yesterday I Picked a Big Boy and I have another of the same variety that is almost ripe. I picked 3-4 Sun Sugars last week and I have a Tommy Toe that is ripe and still on the plant. I usually don't have ripe tomatoes until after the 4th of July. I put my plants in the ground at the end of April which is a little early for my zone. I did have to cover them one time because of a frost risk but we actually didn't end up getting a frost. |

Zone 6 , So.. Central Indiana . Bloody Butcher , Started seed Feb . 22 . Planted in garden May 22. First ripe tomato 6/30. Organic Garden . I mixed in 3 scoops of finished compost and 1 big scoop of rabbit manure with the dirt in each hole. The plant this tomato came off of has 28 tomatoes on it of which this is the only one that was even near ripe. None of the remaining tomatoes have even started to change color. The tomato was the lowest on the plant. Gonna slice it up and devour it right now . Yum Yum nothing like the first homegrown Indiana tomato of the year !!!!! |

Sun Sugar (cherry tomato), Zone 6/NNJ, nursery plant, planted early May. First ripe tomato June 22nd. Strange spring, cooler than usual, followed by lots of early June rain and heat. Planted in 5 gallon bucket. I'm not particularly fond of cherry tomatoes; Sweet Millions are too sweet for my liking, but these are HEAVENLY. I went out and just purchased another plant, from Lowes. |

Sungold, 4b, nursery, planted out in large container June 5, first ripe tomato June 28. Tomato was already on plant when I bought it. |
Sungold April 13 Brandywine June 5 Lemonboy June 10 Black From Tula June 10 Grew indoor from seed Feb 10, then planted outdoors March 10 protected by Wall of Water early season plant protectors, then removed the protectors April 5. I have the earliest harvest in my area. Most people in this area plant transplants in the ground April 15 to May 15 and start harvesting in July. I live in Northern California, inland, near Sacramento. |

on January 21, 2014"Lord, you'd think there's less fools in this world."
Thanks to Guy Clark for penning the permanent lead sentence to any blog post involving Louie Gohmert, the intellectual insult to a bag of hammers representing the First Congressional District of the state of Texas.
The Tyler Republican gave up his health insurance for 2014, asserting that the president's signature health care law, the Affordable Care Act, has made coverage too expensive. "Other people are going to see what I did when I looked into health insurance for my wife and me: that the deductible rate, it doubled, about $3,000 to $6,000, and our policy was going to go from about $300 to about $1,500 a month," he said during a recent radio interview with Trey Graham, a pastor at First Melissa Baptist Church in Collin County. "I actually don't have insurance right now, so thank you very much, Obamacare."
Louie Gohmert makes $174,000 a year. He also gets an insurance subsidy just a bit south of a thousand bucks.
It is here where I point out that this flathead ran got 71 percent of the vote two years ago.
It is here where I point out that representative democracy is well and truly screwed.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Safarini Beautiful hotel in Porto
We stayed 3 nights in Porto (from January 1st to 4th), where I was upgraded to a duplex suite b/c of my Ambassador platinum status.
The experience was great, starting from the check-in (if I remember correctly, it was Joana). She was very hospitable and welcoming, and she acknowledged my platinum status and loyalty.
The concierge were extremely friendly and helpful - they helped me with very good recommendations for lunch and dinner, and made our stay a memorable one.
I would like to thank the concierge team - Rui, Hugo, Goncalo, Rogerio, and Eduardo.
The room was very nice, spacious and up to the standards.
Here are some comments regarding details where I was expecting more:
- Although the room hygiene was very good, the housekeeping could do a better job in the way they tidy the room.
- For a room with 2 persons, they could have put more towels (there were only 2)
- The IT systems of the hotel were not automated - for example, when I ordered room service the person on the other side could not identify from which room I was calling.
Last but not least, this hotel probably has the best location in Porto.

The hotel location is right in the middle of the historic portion of Porto, and walking distance to everything in that area. The hotel and rooms are beautiful. The staff is very friendly. The concierge service is excellent. Even more surprising was the value for the dollar.

We stayed over NYE and had a great time in general at the Intercontinental. After a slow check-in (our agent was on the phone and the other agent sitting at the desk never offered to assist) we had a nice room and friendly, thoughtful service. Great Bar, knowledgeable Concierge, good location. Our two level room was excellent except for warm upstairs so we had to leave window open and it was New Years Eve so very noisy. We recommend the hotel and look forward to our return.

This is the best Intercontinental I've ever stayed. From the excellent service provided by entire management, room is spacious and breakfast is adequate for European standard. The only drawback is the amenity. I requested shaving kit and they give me very cheap shaving kit and I decided not to use it. Very recommended hotel with excellent location to explore Porto.

Greetings from Tasmania. I am new to seriously gardening and want to use square foot gardening from the get go! I have a sloping back yard with a 15-16 foot long existing trellis thats about 5 ft high this trellis faces east. I want to use it as the foundation of my plan. It also is at the bottom of the slope. I would estimate the slope as abt 20deg. I was thinking 2 ft along this length, or possibly 3 if others think it will be easy to manage that width. On each side I am planning 3x8ft which will have no trellis on them. Then possibly in the middle of this elongated u shape another 3x8ft . I wanted experienced square foot gardener's opinions on the management of these sized/shaped blocks and the fact that the trellis is facing east instead of the desired north (southern hemisphere). Thank you in advance for your advice. Do I need to add twine to the trellis its timber lattice panels |

SPN 380K • Epic of the Indies
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
48260 |
Nicolopulos |
Course Description
Spanish-American literary narrative texts attract keen interest around the world today, and these novels and short stories are considered among the most innovative in contemporary world literature. Nonetheless, the first narrative representations of the foundation of Spanish-American civilization to be conceived of by both authors and reading public as "literary" as opposed to strictly historiographical texts are the poems known collectively as the epopeyas de Indias. Written during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, these long narrative poems constituted the creation of a revolutionary new sub-genre of the traditional European epic, and stand today as the finest examples of Iberian Renaissance epic poetry. Furthermore, because the learned epic poem written in the tradition overshadowed by the Aneid functions as a cultural practice explicitly centered in a dynamic of legitimization/subversion of authority, some of these works continued to be read as foundational texts even after Independence, and still play a central role in contemporary debates about the nature and direction of Spanish-American culture.
In this course we begin by examining the epic tradition within, and against which, the "epics of the Indies" were written. We will read selections from Virgil's Aeneid, Lucans Pharsalia, and Ariostos Orlando Furioso. Although specific references will be made to passages in the original languages, the selections from these texts may be read in either English or Spanish translation, and we will make specific use of sixteenth-century Spanish translations of these poems that are available in microfilm and photocopies. Once the framework of the epic tradition and pertinent Renaissance theories of imitation have been examined, we will commence our reading of the epic representation of America with the Cortés sections from Luis Zapatas Carlo famoso,a reading of several episodes from the poem Nuevo mundo y conquista attributed to Francisco Terrazas (generally considered the first major criollo poet of New Spain, and then engage in a careful critical reading of Alonso de Ercillas Araucana. The reading of La Araucana will be supplemented by readings of Ercillas greatest contemporary rival, Luis de Camoenss Os Lusíadas--the other flagship epic of the Iberian Imperial Age, and the celebration of Iberias contact with the other Indies--, and of Ercillas most well known New World imitator, Pedro de Oñas Arauco domado. Finally, if time allows, we will read the New World passages from Bernardo de Balbuenas El Bernardo and selections of Gaspar Pérez de Villagrás Historia de la Nueva México. Reference will be made to other epics of the Indies as well, and all readings will be presented in conjunction with a review of the critical literature, with special emphasis on current analyses and debates about the representation of America and the other in the sixteenth century.

The 5 Most Surprising 2013 Grammy Award Nominations
The Artist: Young Jeezy
The Nomination: "I Do," feat. Jay-Z and Andre 3000 for "Best Rap Performance"
Why It Surprised Us: The four other songs in the "Best Rap Performance" category (Drake's "HYFR," Jay-Z and Kanye West's "N----s In Paris," Nas's "Daughters," and Kanye West's "Mercy") were all really, really big radio records. "I Do" wasn't and, yet, the Grammy voters apparently understood the impact of it and felt it was strong enough to warrant a Grammy nod.

With a fun colored bandeau, this is a great summery dress. The crochet part up top doesn't have any lining, so you just have to embrace it! It's really lightweight and great for hot weather.
5'2, 111pds, small size dress: I worn this dress to a Picnic party such a cute dress fits perfect! Only down fall is that it gets wrinkles easily.
I am in love with this dress!!! The color is slightly more pale than it shows in the pictures but it's not a bid deal.. I'm just looking for the right bra to wear it with because of the "crochet there".. But all in all, with the right bra, it looks great on and it fits perfectly!
Such a great color for spring and summer and very comfortable! Wish I knew how the crochet would look before I bought it. You need a bra the exact color or a bandeau of some sort to keep it appropriate. Other than that, great length and a comfortable fit for all body types.
This dress is just as its pictured. Great color, great length, revealing top (with the right bra/bralette it will be perfect). It's nice and light but the woven top seems durable. It runs a little big but that's great for me bc I have a hard time fitting in most of LuLu's other size Large items.
This color is so cute. I can't wait to pair it with some tan wedges. Only complaint is that it flairs out a little more than I expected. Seems like there is extra fabric bunched under the crocheted part.
Love this dress, its adorable, with some tan wedges, must have. I would also like to thank Lulu's for having such awesome customer service.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Wilfred!
Facts about Wilfred
- Breed: Welsh Corgi
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Wilfred's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Wilfred was found wandering the streets last Fall. The lady who found him tried to find his owners, but had no luck. She is a single mom and just couldn't afford a second dog. Wilfred is a quiet fellow. He likes attention and will sit politely for it.
Other Pets at Green Country Pembroke Welsh Corgi Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Wilfred, a Inola Welsh Corgi dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Welsh Corgi for sale in Inola, or seeking a Welsh Corgi dog from a breeder in Inola.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Inola already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Inola breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Welsh Corgi breeders who help with Welsh Corgi rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Inola paves the way for another one to be saved.

The president has to find the plot
It can be difficult to follow the nuances of the ongoing melodrama in
Jakarta pitting the police and the attorney general's office against
the nation's counter-corruption commission.
But a lot more is at stake here than the typical tale of infidelity or
unrequited love that one might expect from an Indonesian sinetron TV series.
Less than a month after he was sworn in for a second five-year term, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
has seen the saga involving the commission, known here as the KPK, and
its various enemies, chiefly the police, threaten to overshadow what
should be a time of consolidation following his sweeping election
victories in the last year.
Yudhoyono has called for
Indonesia to achieve strong growth, become a leader in Asia and join
the ranks of developed countries on the back of his plans for reform
and a strong domestic economy. He had not apparently reckoned on an
early political crisis.
The KPK issue is becoming a national
obsession. Hundreds of thousands of people have joined a Facebook
protest over the arrest of two KPK deputy commissioners by the police
on what now appear to be trumped-up charges. Watchdog groups,
politicians, religious leaders and reform-minded activists of all
stripes have kept up a constant drumbeat of outrage over the
president's inaction while the entire nation seems transfixed by the
One thing seems abundantly clear: in today's Indonesia,
with its freewheeling press, growing online communities and desire for
real reform, messing with the KPK is perilous. It is a lesson Yudhoyono
is learning the hard way.
On Tuesday, the nation breathlessly
tuned in as the Constitutional Court played wiretapped recordings made
by the commission of a businessman whose brother is on the lam over
corruption charges apparently conspiring to frame the commission for
The plot involves the police and the attorney
general's office — both of whom have been targets of the KPK at various
times — trying to cook up charges against two deputy commissioners of
the corruption body. In one passage a death threat was even made
against one of the accused commissioners.
[On Thursday morning, the chief of detectives for the National Police, Susno Duadji, who was behind the charges against the KPK officials and who has also been the target of a corruption investigation, resigned, as did a deputy attorney general named on tape. Meanwhile, a member of the fact-find body appointed by the president to investigate the mess also stepped down, saying the police are ignoring the group's recommendations.]
Juicy stuff and on
Tuesday it must have been the top rated drama in the country as people
were glued to their televisions watching and listening to the
"Totally busted is the right way to describe
[the police]," went an editorial in the normally conservative Republika
newspaper on Wednesday. "They have incriminated two deputy chairmen of
the KPK for the sake of protecting those who are corrupt. They have no
dignity anymore."
At the end of it all, the two deputy
commissioners, who were arrested by police last week, were released
from detention late Tuesday while the matter is sorted out by a
presidential fact-finding commission appointed earlier this week after
massive public pressure could no longer be ignored.
the conspiring businessman caught on tape, Anggodo Widjojo, was
detained on Tuesday but by Wednesday police were saying that he had not
committed a crime since the bribes he discussed on tape were to be
given to a civilian co-conspirator not a government official.
Don't be. The point is really pretty simple: it has been obvious for
months that powerful forces were trying to derail the KPK, which is
arguably the only government body in Indonesia that has ever been able
to do anything about the nation's endemic corruption. It has jailed
businessmen, lawmakers, cops, crooked prosecutors and central bank
officials — including one of the president's in-laws.
the KPK has powerful enemies is beyond question. What is even more
obvious this week is that it has millions of friends — ordinary people
in Indonesia who want something better for their country than to be
known as a cesspool of graft.
But Yudhoyono — whose name was
invoked on the tapes by Anggodo and who has denied any involvement in
the carnival of sleaze — was doing little or nothing to defend the KPK
until the public pressure started to lap at the shores of his own
political bastion.
When lawmakers tried to dilute the
commission's power at the end of the last House of Representatives'
term in September, Yudhoyono largely stood on the sidelines. When the
police slowly unveiled the apparently spurious charges that resulted in
the arrest of deputy commissioners Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M
Hamzah, the president was silent, save for saying he would not
interfere in the due process of law.
It was only when his own
name surfaced on transcripts of the wiretapped conversations last week
that the president made his displeasure known.
Now he has
reached a point where he has to lead. "The public support was amazing,
we are overwhelmed. Justice has started to show its face," Bibit said
shortly after he and Chandra were released from detention.
has become a fight in which Yudhoyono's political legacy may face its
greatest challenge. He is the strongest political leader in Indonesia
since the fall of Suharto in 1998. He has overwhelming control of the
legislature and he had a resounding victory in July for a second term.
But he has been governing as if he is afraid of upsetting the police or
displeasing insiders. That has to stop or his claim to be reform minded
could fall on a nation of deaf ears.
In the KPK matter, he has
seemed content to straddle the fence, allowing the police to do as they
please and waiting for time or the courts to sort it out. That will no
longer work. He does not have to interfere in a court proceeding but he
does have to demonstrate that he wants to see the country's law
enforcement bodies put right.
This week's events have shown the
public to be firmly behind the KPK and its uphill battle against a
shameful legacy of corruption. The next step is Yudhoyono's. He must
lead an effort to overhaul the practices of the attorney general's
office and the police — consistently rated by the public as the most
corrupt institution in the country — if he is going to seize the
initiative and start directing the soap opera instead of just being
another viewer.

From the beginning, The Thick of It was a hyper-caffeinated, richly written, and semi-improvised caricature of British politics. A party in permanent crisis mode, assisted by a cynical cadre of civil servants, asserts its policies and tries to maintain its dominance while writhing under the constant gaze of the press. Malcolm Tucker constantly recalibrates the variables in this equation, solving them on the fly for each new problem or policy, and basically bullying his way through every moment of the never-ending news cycle.
This mercurial, potty-mouthed wraith is said to be based loosely on Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's director of communications and strategy. In any case, Tucker shuttles between the 300-year-old Downing Street offices of the (unseen) Prime Minister and the less venerable Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship, appearing as suddenly and unexpectedly as a vengeful ghost.
Tucker's rules of engagement with the press are laid out in the show's first episode. In a typical bit of arm-twisting, he forces the inept yet diligent social affairs minister, Hugh Abbott (Chris Langham), to endorse a policy he had first proposed, then rejected—on camera, no less. Abbott asks Tucker an eminently reasonable question: Won't the press eviscerate him?
"Fuck them," Tucker replies. He then follows up with a kind of spinmeister's credo:
Look, this is what they run with. I tell them that you said it. They believe that you said it. They don't really believe you said it. They know that you never said it . . . . But it's in their interests to say that you said it because if they don't say that you said it, they're not going to get what you say tomorrow or the next day when I decide to tell them what it is you're saying.
Within the economy of information linking government and press, Tucker (whom Abbott considers a "bad Gandalf" in his mastery of the darker political arts) knows it's a seller's market. And even with twenty-four hours a day to fill up with news, there's little impetus to make sense of it. (Jon Stewart made this point in a recent Daily Show segment mocking just how often cable news anchors use the phrase, "We'll have to leave it there"—as though their outlets didn't have all day, every day, to check the unsubstantiated facts that pepper on-air debates.) According to Iannucci, the government and press's dysfunctional arrangement is rooted in sheer terror.
"Politicians so live in fear of being caught saying the wrong thing," he says, "that they spend half their time trying to control what it is they say, when they say it, and how they say it—and the rest trying to take back or reinterpret what they've said. I felt this reached its height during the presidential primaries when Hillary Clinton said she 'misspoke' over the claim she had had to crouch under sniper fire in Bosnia, and they found out she was actually walking around and kissing a little girl. You can't satirize that because it's funny enough as it is."
In many ways, The Thick of It is the surly, unruly, and deeply cynical offspring of Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing, which walked us through the corridors of power with soft lighting, smooth camerawork, and the finely honed wit of classic screwball comedies. The Thick of It, on the other hand, is shot with two handheld cameras, which barely manage to keep up with a multilayered flurry of insult-driven banter. The constant cutting gives the show a sped-up quality, as though time itself is being sold down the river.
"I want to feel like we're sort of eavesdropping on reality," Iannucci says of this quick-and-dirty style. "We're seeing something we shouldn't really be seeing. Or we're getting the first slightly unedited rushes of a tape that was only made for private viewing. I want to get that slightly raw, manic, unpolished sense of nervousness." He puts his actors in much the same position by shoving them in front of the cameras before they're completely familiar with the script, hoping to catch "that slightly panicked look in their eye, which is genuine."
Panic and paranoia are the overriding tropes of The Thick of It. The first two seasons focused mainly on the ongoing struggle of the newly installed Abbott to keep his position, especially during the cabinet reshuffling that dominated the second season. And one of the holiday specials brilliantly captured a long night of endless spin as politicians, advisers, and enforcers jostle for position during the search for a new prime ministerial candidate. (We also see the increasing anxiety of the Daily Mail editor as he tries to make sense of the madly conflicting reports he's getting from his inside sources.)

"Does what is said It does, and it does it easy!!!"
Version: 99bytes Video to iPod / PSP Converter 1.5
Very simple to use. Have had no problems with it at all.. I've tried other programs and this one is simple and does the job.
none that i can think of.
The price is right, they let you try it 5 times for free without any restrictions during that time so you really see what you are getting.. Have been using it now for over a year and have had zero problems with it.
"A rather good software with surprising possibilities."
Version: 99bytes Video to iPod / PSP Converter 1.5
fast and easy to use
is not free
It was ok that first you could try the software for free.I bought it because is rather fast and easy to use. Like most that I can select what part of the video i want to convert !pretty cool!
"quick and painless"
Version: 99bytes Video to iPod / PSP Converter 1.5
In a nutshell, this program was the one that finally responded to my plea. I never could get my head around all these conversion for DVDs but with this I basically don't need to do anything. I just take any video DVD, regardless of the format, and have it converted automatically with the program and then the program transfers it to my PSP or iPod. Piece of cake! I know it sounds to good to be true, but you can try five conversion for free in the available trial.
"double compatibility, easy-to-use, fast conversions."
Version: 99bytes Video to iPod / PSP Converter 1.5
The best thing to it it's the easy convertible way of movies to both iPod or PSP format. In the past I was not too sure why some video files can be converted to my iPod and why some don't, so if you're looking for something straight forward to use when converting this one does the job. The interface is pretty intuitive so no problems there and even if they were you have tips to use along the way to better improve the use of it.

I replaced the half and half with sour supreme (vegan version of sour cream) and used veggie broth for a vegan alternative and it turned out very well!
EEek! I had guests over yesterday and asked them to guess what kind of soup it was.Two people answered "Salt Soup"? Several people did not eat more than one sip.It was a disaster.Don't know what caused it,the broth,the salt or the white basalimic but it was a mess.
I had such high hopes for this soup!I proudly served it to my guests and asked them to guess what kind of soup it was and two of them said "Is ia SALT soup"?The soup did not have the lovely sweet taste of a parsnip instead one is reminded of creamy salty flavorless soup.What a disappointment
Super simple, super yummy. Lends itself to all kinds of variations but sweet and rich as is. Doesn't suffer from using rice vinegar and fat-free half-n-half. Probably could use skim milk as well.
Does anyone know how this freezes? I know sometimes parsnips go spongy in the freezer.
This soup is excellent just as written. The only thing extra that I did was cut some parsnip matchstick size and roast them in the oven for garnish.

Cadillac XLR
Last produced: May 2009
Total sold in 2010: 62
Probably the only vehicle of this bunch we'd actually recommend you go out and look for, the XLR is more a victim of changing priorities at Cadillac than anything else. As the brand looks to boost volume and fill important holes in its lineup, replacing its costly hardtop convertible simply isn't high on the list. And although the XLR never quite achieved its mission as a Mercedes-Benz SL and Lexus SC beater, the Corvette-based droptop still looks great and goes like stink, especially in 443-hp XLR-V guise. Production ended last May and, by that point, was limited mostly to V-series models. The $100,000+ price tag strikes us as a bit rich (and indeed, that was one of the reasons the XLR failed), but we'd bet dealers will be flexible as they try to clear out their last '09 cars.

"My Girlfriend loves this dish from that pasta place. We tried this using the Classico Jar of Pesto. I used a whole box of pasta for leftovers and that way I could use the whole jar."
"This recipe is definitely a keeper! I will be making this again, and again, and again.... I did add a little Worcestershire sauce and a can of no salt added diced tomatoes! I thought at first that this was going to be not so great, but once it was in the cooked it turned out great! One of my favorite chilis I have ever had!"

Stuffing Box Trouble
Ok sorry to start another stuffing box thread but wanted to explain what just happened to me because something isn't right...
Changed the flax packing 4 days ago with the same exact size as what came out - three rings of 3/16 flax packing. Ring insertion went fine and I also had someone who had done it before there to help and guide me. So today the boat went into the water and while at the dock I took my wrenches in and unlocked the locking nut. I had made sure to leave it semi loose as not to over tighten and with the locking nut off I had about a drip every 5 seconds while in neutral and a drip about every 2-3 seconds with the shaft spinning at low speeds(while the locking nut was off/loose). Ok I thought that is good to start and I can always adjust it for less drips later on when it all settles in - well I used 2 wrenches to tighten the locking nut while making sure to leave the packing nut in same position - well no drips - not 1 while the shaft was even spinning at 2100 rpms...After 5 minutes I got nervous, put it in neutral, loosened the locking nut and walla plenty of drips. I then even backed the packing nut even further off just to make sure for my trip to my mooring I plenty of cooling water. At that point I had a steady stream coming in until I tightened it again with the locking nut - again no drips.
So Sorry for the long post but just wanted to make clear what I did. To me it seems that the locking nut seems to be blocking any drippage. Also where should it be dripping from - between the locking and packing nuts or elsewhere? At this point I get no drips when the packing nut is backed off just about all the way while the locking nut is fully tightened. Locking nut slightly loose and plenty of drippage. Also for the trip over (about 30 minutes) I kept checking - no drips but at the same time the stuffing box and shaft never got hot. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Rex fumes as Jets get routed by 49ers 34-0
Updated: September 30, 2012, 6:59 PM ET
Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Rex Ryan simply could not hide his anger.
Not after what he just watched. Not after everything he had expected from his New York Jets.
"I apologize for my language," said Ryan, so angry after the 49ers' 34-0 victory Sunday that he had trouble even getting started. "I was going to say we got our butt kicked, but really ... there's no two ways, in or outs about it."
And, in many ways, the 49ers are everything Ryan wishes his Jets were.

Beers and Bro-Dates
This Saturday a small crew from the office made the adventurous journey into the Valley to do "normal" people things. For a fairly new transplant to LA this means a tribute to the weird and fairly often boring nights in the Midwest. We started our night by meeting up at the train station to catch the Metro, which happened to be a first for most of us. Then off to the glamorous Universal City Walk for dinner and some good wholesome fun. This turned out to mean a few, very large beers and some bowling. It doesn't take long to realize the Midwest boys have an advantage in the fine art of throwing heavy things long distances. The night wrapped up with a, shall we say stereotypical meal at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Thanks to the Dim Mak locals for showing us a great night and lets hope there are more of these outings to come!

New music from our good friend Fashen – "So Complete"
DJ Fashen has been one of the top club DJs in the US for at least the last ten years, but this is his first release of original music. He's an absolute genius on the turntables, an incredible performer, and his energy and knowledge translates perfectly in this three song EP.The Phoenix native (he came up with Z-Trip) had already been ripping for years on commercial radio and in nightclubs all over the US before being hand picked by DJ AM for Deckstar, which propelled him into the upper echelon alongside AM, Jazzy Jeff and Steve Aoki. This landed him gigs playing for Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, 50-Cent, and the Kardashians, and as a Skam Artist DJ he continues to tour the world, somehow also finding time to hold down Dim Mak Sundays at Drai's Hollywood with Thee Mike B.
Atari Teenage Riot Takes Hold of NYC — A Recap By MTV Hive
If you ever need a heightened sense of our dystopian present, attend an Atari Teenage Riot show. Certainly the long-running German trio — now consisting of Alec Empire, Nic Endo and Rowdy Superstar — has had progress in its sights for a long time. The group began in Berlin in 1992 as a proactive response against neo-Nazism in Germany and has been fighting the good fight through techno-juiced hardcore (and strobe lights!) off and on for two decades. (The band took a decade-long hiatus in 2001 after the death of founding member Carl Crack before returning last year.) But no length of fandom or YouTube-by-proxies is quite like being in Atari Teenage Riot's present presence: through hyperreal energy and palpable political resolve, the group acts as cheerleaders for resistance, and the constant indictments of skewed global politics are actually transformative. We're living in a time of tumult, but ATR's imagining a better future, if we want it. The crux of their music, battering, insistent, and of the rabble, is just a reminder that along the path there, chaos is tantamount. And fun.
Datsik & Steve Aoki Talk "Vitamin D" With MTV

Steve Aoki & Travis Barker Performing "Cudi The Kid" – Live at Beyond Wonderland
With the immersion of Dim Mak's finest at Insomniac's Beyond Wonderland, there were too many memorable portions of the night; from Autoerotique's debut of several unreleased tracks, to Felix Cartal getting 10,000 fans to sing along to "Don't Turn On The Lights", we could only close things out with a bang — literally. Steve Aoki brought out the friend and collaborative drummer, Travis Barker to perform their latest single "Cudi The Kid" off Wonderland.
Dim Mak has been taking hold of the iTunes Top Dance Charts, with 3 albums charting on the Top 40 spots; Both Steve Aoki (Wonderland) and Infected Mushroom's "Army Of Mushrooms" Pre-Order are back-to-back at No. 23 and 24! Datsik's recent release has immediately shot up since it's world-debut, currently residing at No. 10!

Some of you might not know this but Steve started out in the Hardcore punk scene. Actually the first ever dim mak release was a hardcore ep. After releasing A hardcore single with Bob Rifo as Rifoki his Album Wonderland was a logical step to again introduce part of his roots Amsterdam's Sick Boy also came from a background of loud guitars so when the two decided to collaborate on "The Kids will have their say" it was inevitable that it would be a loud in your face track with a punk influenced attitude.
What would be cooler then having people play on it that influenced Generations of kids to pick up a guitar or drumsticks? Here's a Lil info on "Big" John and Erik, the guitarplayer and drummer on the track.

YU's Model UN Celebrates 25 Years
More Than 450 Students From Around the World to Tackle Global Issues February 8-10
Some 450 students from Jewish high schools around the world will gather at the Stamford Plaza Hotel and Conference Center in Stamford, Connecticut, February 8-10, to participate in the 25th annual Yeshiva University National Model United Nations conference (YUNMUN). Simulating the countries and committees from the real United Nations, student delegates from 44 yeshiva high schools and community day schools across 3 continents will discuss a wide range of issues, including gender roles, human rights and international law.
More than 60 YU undergraduate students and 65 faculty advisers will be on-hand at the event to ensure that the student-run simulation runs smoothly, allowing participants to learn about the complex landscape of international diplomacy.
"Yeshiva University hosts a Model United Nations because it is critical that we educate students about our mandate to matter. We must consistently reinforce a responsibility for helping shape the destiny of civilization," said Rabbi Kenneth Brander, YU's vice president for university and community life.

New York Giants running back David Wilson suffered a setback today when he had a neck burner that forced him out of practice.
Wilson was just recently medically cleared following neck surgery in January to address a herniated disc and fuse vertebrae.
"He got a burner and we'll see," Giants coach Tom Couglin said. "We'll hear what they have to say first. We're all praying that it would not be an issue that he would be able to come back and just go to work and he was cleared, as you know. So we'll see. I'm not going to speculate on what it is. We'll see what the doctors say."

I was picking up a few oil filters the other day and while I was looking for the oil filter with the prefix PH (the recommended) i notice a few others all by fram with the same numbers but different prefixes. I didn't give the HM (for High Mileage) mush thought since I only have 20K but the other was TG (Tough Guard). The back said that it was for tougher driving and listed as examples: stop and go, up and down hills, dusty conditions etc.
So I was wondering if anyone could contribute their $.02 in this and let me know:
1) Do they fit as a replacement filter?
2) Would the TG rob fuel economy?
3) What are basic pros/cons?
Thanks a bunch,
